Zum Thema Internet-Detox :
Mir kam heute eine markante Szene aus dem Comic "John Difool" (Band 3, Deutsch 1984 erschienen; https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Incal) in den Sinn. Hab mal nachgesehen, und ja - der Autor Jodorowsky hatte schon damals (1981-1983), also als das "Internet" noch ein "Arpanet" war/hieß, die negativen gesellschaftlichen Folgen solch eines Massenmediums erkannt (s.u.).
Im Comic wird das Propaganda-Medium (Internet) "3D" genannt und in der dargestellten Szene macht John die zentrale "3D" Propaganda-Instanz platt, so dass alle Menschen kein 3D mehr haben und aus ihren "Wohnwaben" rauskommen.
Im Comic ist diese Zerstörung Voraussetzung für die nachfolgenden Kämpfe und Revolutionen. Manchmal denke ich (und einige Militante propagieren das sogar vehement), dass es hier auch so etwas geben muss.
"The first two-network TCP/IP transmission was between the [Packet Radio Van] and ARPANET on August 27, 1976; the van was parked next to Rossotti's (since 1956, officially the "Alpine Inn"), a well-known Portola Valley, California biker bar, and wires were run to one of the picnic tables."

Bem-vindos ao podcast Retrópolis! Apresentado pela Municipalidade de Retrópolis. Esta é a Parte A do Episódio 166. Sobre o episódio Não parece, mas a Internet comercial no Brasil já tem 30 aninhos de idade. Vamos comemorar o primeiro retorno de Saturno da rede das redes com um agora-vilão especialmente convidado. Sobre esta parte Uma brevíssima
@carlmalamud we have never met - but I wanted to say I was listening yesterday to the Geek of the Week conversation https://town.hall.org/radio/Geek/092993_geek_ITR.html with Robert Braden. as I was trying to figure out how #ARPANET worked on System/360 computers.
Thank you!
Thank you! I have watched the Youtube video, nice summary and easy to follow.
I was wondering if there is #MVT implementation available somewhere, as 360/75 was the third #arpanet node at UCSB.
https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA155057.pdf has a very interesting summary how NCP and then TCP were done on the mainframe later at UCLA
It was based on ICT (a multiprocessing supervisor) and The Exchange (some form of IPC).
Any chances to find the docs and the implementations running back then?
A reconstruction of the ARPAnet by @larsbrinkhoff running some of the original PDP10 OSes and an IMP simulator. Fascinating!

Excellent book: "The Dream Machine - J.C.R. Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal" by Waldrop (2001)
Both an excellent biography of Licklider and a history of the key people and technologies, especially the Arpanet, that got us to today.
